Controls for EA SPORTS PGA TOUR (PS5 and Xbox Series X/S)
I never really liked golf. It was a sport that was available at my school and I lived on a golf course throughout my high school years, and I just never got it. There’s a tiny ball, a bunch of metal clubs, and a go-cart. What’s the big deal?
I spent years in this ignorance until I played Hot Shots Golf for the first time. Sure, it’s a hyper version of real life golf, but the mechanics, the excitement on display, the skill required to play the game well, it was all becoming clear to me. I spent a lot of time with that game over that summer (I think I was playing it on the PS Vita, so maybe it was around 2012), and I began to watch the golfers outside my window do their thing. Most of them were terrible, but I was beginning to see how they could b having fun.Â
Fast forward many years later, and… I still don’t quite get it. Golf in reality seems boring, but video game golf is great! If you prefer your golf games to be more like a simulation of the real thing rather than an arcade-ified version of the experience, then EA Sports PGA Tour is here to claim your precious free time.
